He or she inspires you to go to great heights. Dr. Silberman simply doesn't do that for me. He simply dictates policy (taking cues from other ed leaders and telling his people that "heads will roll" if scores don't go up) By threatening teachers and insinuating that they could lose their jobs or be reassigned, Silberman has created nothing but a climate of fear for me. One thing is for sure, though, under his guidance test scores have gone up because we are TEACHING to the test. If we had a norm-referenced test, this would probably tell the truth about Fayette County Public Schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
